Minor league umpire Lewis Williams III, a Soquel High alum, worked behind home plate and called a no-hitter in the High Desert Mavericks' 5-0 win over the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes in California League action at Heritgae Field in front of 1,738 fans on Wednesday.

It was the second no-hitter in team history and first since Aug. 21, 2006.

Three Mavericks pitchers — starter Tyler Pike and relievers Mark Bordonaro and Blake Houser — combined efforts in the shutout. They struck out 13 batters and walked five. Bordonaro threw two innings for the win.

"It's unreal," Pike told milb.com, "especially at the field we play at, where it's pretty much unheard of to (allow) no runs, let alone no hits."

EICHHORN GETS FORTH WIN OF SEASON &GT;&GT; Kevin Eichhorn (4-0) pitched seven innings with four strikeouts and the win as the Lakeland Flying Tigers beat the Jupiter Hammerheads 4-3 on Wednesday in Class A Advanced Florida State League play.

The Aptos High alum allowed four hits and one earned run, and currently has 1.73 ERA average.
